Sleep

Sleep is a soft and gentle hand that charms away all strife –
And draws us with a magic touch from out the grasp of Life –
It throws into our tired eyes the golden dust of dreams –
And we forget our failures and our little futile schemes…

If you’ve a grievance in your heart, don’t rail and storm and weep –
Just put a finger on the lips and then lie down and sleep –
And in the morning when you wake, you’ll take a different view –
For God gives you another day in which to start anew.
